Students proud to march for Anzac Day
BILAMBIL Public was just one of many schools proudly marching in Tweed Heads this Anzac Day.
In each school group there was at least a few students weighed down with various medals earned in conflict by their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers.
Bilambil Public School students Jack Robinson and Sarah McGinley were both happily displaying family medals.
"My great-grandfather, he was in the Navy," Sarah proclaimed with a smile.
She said she was proud to be marching for him and felt lucky to be free to soak up the sun on such a nice day.
Sarah said that she was surprised to see so many people out and about on what she described as a very special occasion.
Jack stuck his chest out to show off his great-grandfather's medals and said he was happy to join in the march with his school.
"He flew aeroplanes, he was up in the sky," Jack said.
Both of the kids were likely in the dark about the hardships their great-grandfather's had endured in conflict.
However, they were obviously aware that Anzac Day was a revered occasion, set aside to remember the men and women who so gallantly served their country.
